Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An engineer applies a community policy on a Huawei edge router but fails to send communities to the intended iBGP peer. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect BGP communities on receipt and advertisement, send-community settings and outbound policy. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Preserve and enforce relevant BGP community propagation and NO_EXPORT behavior under the export policy. Successful verification is: The prefix remains usable internally where authorized and is not advertised to prohibited external peers.
Inspect adjacency graph, route source type and advertisement history on the transit router. This check would diagnose iBGP split-horizon route propagation, but would not first isolate the described BGP route policy community NO_EXPORT. Begin with: Inspect BGP communities on receipt and advertisement, send-community settings and outbound policy.
Compare OSPF router IDs, neighbor tables and LSA advertising-router fields. This check would diagnose OSPF duplicate router IDs, but would not first isolate the described BGP route policy community NO_EXPORT. Begin with: Inspect BGP communities on receipt and advertisement, send-community settings and outbound policy.
Inspect candidate AS origins, MED values, higher-priority attributes and effective route-selection rules. This check would diagnose BGP MED same-neighbor-AS comparison, but would not first isolate the described BGP route policy community NO_EXPORT. Begin with: Inspect BGP communities on receipt and advertisement, send-community settings and outbound policy.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A regional ISP announces an internal RFC1918 subnet to an external BGP neighbor because an outbound prefix filter is too broad. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Apply an explicit allowlist of authorized public prefixes with a default deny export policy. Technical basis: BGP export routing policies determine which eligible local and learned prefixes a peer receives. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Only the approved external advertisements appear on the peer and internal prefixes remain private.
Add supported PBR next-hop reachability tracking or failover logic consistent with service requirements. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of PBR failed-next-hop fallback, but it does not correct the specific BGP prefix export-filter leak condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: BGP export routing policies determine which eligible local and learned prefixes a peer receives.
Use a documented full-mesh or route-reflector design rather than expecting ordinary iBGP transit advertisement. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of iBGP split-horizon route propagation, but it does not correct the specific BGP prefix export-filter leak condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: BGP export routing policies determine which eligible local and learned prefixes a peer receives.
Honor stub-area restrictions and use the ABR default route or redesign the area type for required imports. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of OSPF stub area external LSA constraint, but it does not correct the specific BGP prefix export-filter leak condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: BGP export routing policies determine which eligible local and learned prefixes a peer receives.

That observation would support a separate case of BGP TCP reachability and port, not verification of the reported BGP prefix export-filter leak.
